What the petition asks
We want the government to increase the personal allowance to £17,000
Undo the effects of fiscal drag, allowing people to have more in their take home pay. To help fight the effects of inflation, put more earned income in the pockets of workers to help with the cost of living ease the burden on the state by enabling people to be self sufficient, save and invest. The government could even mandate a portion of it goes into pensions by increasing employee contribution %
